  1. Try searching Reflected Ceiling Plan or RCP here on the Forum, I remember it being discussed a few times, but Chief does not have a dedicated RCP Tool or View. M.
  2. Thanks, that is how the Current Raytracing works -- it is all CPU based -- there is a new PBR-RT view coming in X13 which will use the Nvidia RTX Cards in the 2000 or 3000 Series though, in Windows. However the old views will remain for those with older hardware to use also. Check out the What's Coming 3D rendering Video if you haven't already. M.
  3. needs further explanation and pics or a plan file
  4. (auto) Contour Line number?
  5. Do a Forum search on EZ Screen , pretty sure someone posted on doing those a few months ago ...Kyle perhaps... M.
  6. Is your Template Plan from a Home Designer Title originally eg HD Pro? M.
  7. could be as Chief writes to the .ini file for Toolbars and DBXs etc M
  8. The time of the post in the top left Corner is a link to the Post , so I right click it and choose Copy link...then paste into a new Thread.
  9. I run into this occasionally on my Windows machine too ...it usually happens when I open another Users Chief Plan , so Glenn maybe onto something there, I now always have my Toolbars Locked but things can still get wonky on occasion. M.
  10. It doesn't work for CAD Blocks ... that is correct.... Unblock > reblock should work too I think. It is a continuing Issue for me as well , working with Others who don't have my 2560x1440 monitor size.
  11. you may need to do it on each Floor..... and last weeks post about this.....
  12. Send it into Tech support for a look..... M.
  13. You really aren't giving anyone a chance of answering that question with no pics and no plan to look at ...so i'll say yes you're missing some setting M.
  14. Finally got a chance to open the Plan and have a look , was working from memory yesterday, and Plan Check works on the 2nd floor but not the basement level ( no errors) once the include in Living Area Calculation box is checked in all rooms... Maybe worth sending in as even after I removed all interior doors in the basement , and the bathroom not having a Fan ( or window) yet should have triggered a Plan Check Error ( multiple really) , at least those conditions on others floors normally do.
  15. I believe it uses Room Definition and the Condition Space Living Space setting in the Room's DBX since it is "Living Area" so if either of those conditions is compromised it may not work. I think @Dermot posted about this recently , so maybe he can elaborate more for you.... M.
  16. It should , but you need to run it on each floor as David noted above I believe certainly is a weird quirk though.... M.
  17. this KB article may help.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00772/building-a-cape-cod-or-a-story-and-a-half-roof.html M
  18. IIRC you noted this action in your Roof Purlin Video about a year ago ? or at least in that Thread..... M.
  19. It was mentioned in the Xmas Newsletter that it won't release till early in the New Year for X13. You can subscribe here if you aren't already.............. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/company/newsletters/ M.
  20. It's not a Windows Issue perse, it is the Nahimic Sonic Radar App that Windows Update/ Windows Store automatically updates when Windows updates the Nahimic Drivers. You can stop Windows Update from Updating Drivers quite easily if you'd like too ? , this also stops the App updating usually as the app needs to be compatible with the Driver.... I use the .reg file from 10 Forums ( get the enable and disable files) but there are other ways to do it too.... https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-enable-disable-driver-updates-windows-update-windows-10-a.html More on Nahimic https://www.nahimic.com/gamers/
  21. In X12 you can now just turn the Newels off on the Rail Style Tab ( checkbox ) and place your own post from the Framing Menu. (set Default 1st if needed?) don't want the rail either ? make whole rail Invisible or uncheck the options in pic # 2 M.
  22. sounds like you have switched your reference layer on by accident ....F9 or 11th icon on the RH Toolbar to toggle it on or off
  23. Firefox 84.0.1 and Windows 202H are working fine ..... M.
  24. I do it more or less like Mark but Use a z_ in front of the Client's Folder Name like you , so it is at the bottom of the Tree and easy to drag Items I just saved to the Library into the Clients folder. M.
